…of never asking any of the celebrities I’ve interviewed for a photo. I’ve passed up quite a few, but Y reckons if I don’t have photographic evidence, our kids are never going to believe I met these people. Like they’re really going to care, you know. He insisted I take this one.
That’s me [...]
Today, I was in the presence of greatness.
I wasn’t even half as excited as some of the people gathered to see Valentino Rossi, but I hold this guy in sky-high regard all the same. He is, after all, one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time. And he seemed pretty obliging about [...]
Anti-climax is when you’re two hours into Ratatouille and the silver screen goes blank on you.
Appalling is when those cinema dudes not only have no solution, they leave the audio running so even though you can’t see an iota of the film’s emo climax, you can hear every note of the emo music, which [...]
To commemorate Women’s Day 2007, The Body Shop and Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) put together a ‘Walk of Love, Celebrating Women’ event at The Curve. For RM30, members of the public could sign up for a limited edition t-shirt, a 1-2km ‘walk of love’, dinner and an all-women concert. For working in the media, my [...]

Between all that talk about how women are the talkative species and even more talk about well, just anything, I guess it never crossed my mind that [...]
I can now officially say I’ve seen Gwen Stefani in concert, live and up close. Obviously, an interview and photoshoot with Gwen, Gavin Rossdale and Kingston would have been the ideal, but a million dollars ain’t gonna fall on my head when I walk out the door tomorrow morning and we do [...]
Of late, I have been struck by an urge to be more socially active. I look at people who fight passionately for a cause – Darfur, World Vision, Make Poverty History… the list is endless, really – and in fleeting moments, almost envy them.
I’m no Paris Hilton, but [...]
If there was one person who could have become a great actor and made the rest of us famous, it would have been Bec. Of the four of us siblings, she’s definitely the most melodramatic, by far the most intense, and she can actually act – I’ve seen her. Plus, being an actor would [...]
I got real lucky today – a bird pooped on me! The poop didn’t land right on me (thank God for that!), but just to the side of my chair. At least, the bulk of it did. The rest landed on my hair, black top and handbag. A couple of errant drops splashed onto my [...]
In a fit of I-don’t-know-what-to-call-it, I looked out the windows of my taxi one day last week as I was going into KL city centre, and I thought, if I spent three minutes for each person I saw and listened to their story… I don’t know how the sentence ends.
